Dinosaur Gardens is a holdover from the late 1940s to early 1960s roadside attraction era. Although it lacks the garish billboards that were a trademark feature of its genre, the place is instantly recognizable as a relic of a bygone era. Adults who appreciate this historic perspective will find this place fascinating. Little kids love Dinosaur Gardens too, because they don’t much care that the painted concrete sculptures are crudely rendered and they aren’t much bothered by the fact that the place is badly outdated, riddled with inaccuracies and weird juxtapositions, and more than a little wacky in the aggregate. Alas, relatively few adults, teens, or tweens are likely to find Dinosaur Gardens very entertaining. A big reason is that youngsters today are pretty dinosaur-savvy. While we were there a five year old girl pointed out that the forearms of the T-Rex sculpture should have just two fingers, not three.
